Some Biblical authors are very clear about why they wrote their books. When you study these books, don’t feel the need to be particularly profound. If you don’t get to the stated point, you’re probably missing something.
- Proverbs – to know wisdom, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction, to give prudence, to understand a proverb (Prov 1:1-6).
- Luke – to give an orderly account, that we might have certainty concerning the things we have been taught (Luke 1:1-4).
- John – so you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, and have life in his name (John 20:30-31).
- 1 John – so you may know you have life (1 John 5:13).
- Jude – to encourage us to contend for the faith (Jude 3).
- Revelation – to reveal Jesus Christ and show his servants the things that must soon take place (Rev 1:1).
Please feel free to comment if I missed any.
